In 1973 "High Plains Drifter" is the first western to be a steering wheel, and at times it feels more similar to a almost supernatural movie than the legendary actor. In the actress as a stranger, his character wandered in the city just to offer work to protect the place and her people from three killers seeking revenge. Gunslinger with Eastwood's cigarette is not a hero, however, and instead, he quickly begins to feel like a hard eyes dark Reaper, addressing the communal sin that the city is forced to remember.

Demonstrating in the early stages of what will become the world -famous efficiency of Eastwood behind the camera, "High Plannes Drifter" stands out not only as not just as not one of his best directorial efforts But Also one of his great performances at all time on the screen. Lean and in its development, Eastwood was accurate with his project budget, even managed to finish production two days before the projected, according to the American Rebel: Mark Eliot's life of Clint Eastwood ". However, in the case of the title, Eastwood's directorial debut in the Old West seemed to have taken the wrong twist and completely avoided the high plains in full, shooting in a very different place.

In Eastwood's film "Cooling and Duided", the only place where the high plains are in "High Plannes Drifter" is in the title. Obviously the wound and lush grassy surface of the high plains is absent from the film, replaced by extremely ugly and almost infertile terrain. This visually reflects the city where the stranger is located, where goodness seems to have been removed from Lago because of his mistakes in the past.

To create this pure conspiracy on the ground, Eastwood headed for Mono, California and primarily on a mono lake for the city itself. Remaining from the famous cities and visions of the sun that inhabit many of the previous western Eastwood, the one he created here feels far colder and barely hanging. Even the addition of the nearby body to the water strengthens the efforts of the Starvala and the director to craft almost alternative west - the one where it is not a song of the scene of the scene, but the cry of the nearby seagulls. As for Lago, with his entire worn and disturbing atmosphere, Eastwood chose not to require an existing city for the stranger to enter. Instead, he had one built from scratch.

To create a city painted red in a "high plain drifter", Eastwood first needed a land -built up. Instead of working in the studio, he decided to create his own small world with complete finished interiors. This approach allowed him to do most of the on -site shooting, especially for a bar and barber shop in which the stranger visits and causes chaos, leading to One of the most memorable moments on the Eastwood screen. This method has contributed to the film's work of the Eastwood budget, allowing all films to happen in this unusual small city with a dark secret. That is, until it is set in the last scenes of the film when the stranger leaves the local population in the ruin they created for themselves.

In addition to the stranger's brief residence, full of angry locals and very red, Eastwood filmed near Lake Vinemuka in Nevada, Sierra Mountains and National Forest Inio. As for Eastwood's directorial efforts in "Wild West", "High Plains Drifter" shoots from the hip and does not waste time, actually acting invaluable spring stone that allowed him to take a walk in the next stage of his incredible career.
